Abstract :
With the growing market success of Itanium(r) 2-based solutions and the integration of 64-bit extensions into x86-based processors, organizations now have a choice of two widely supported, industry-standard, 64-bit architectures. Which fits best for particular implementation? In most cases, the right choice will be obvious. Both architectures have a vital role to play in today's enterprise datacenters. They can be integrated together very easily, supported by a broad community of hardware and software vendors and will continue to advance very rapidly in the coming years. By using them in combination, businesses can maximize the value and agility of their computing assets.
